The person that has perhaps the most
influence in the seraglio is the mother Of
the sultan. This proves the extreme ven-
Grafton in which Turks hold their parents.
The father of q sultan can mex er be living,
for If he is alive his son will not be sultan.
But nothing prevents the mother from
still being Of this world when her son
ascends the throne. Woe to the people If
this woman is wicked, greedy and capri
cious, for often she does everything with
out being responsible for anything. The
sultan himself is afraid to disobey his
mother. Moreover, she is usually the
source Of oil disgraces and all favors, and
the supreme art of the ambitious is to get
acquainted with her and to obtain her
good will by the intervention Of other
women that have the right and the oppor-
tunity to approach her.
Concealed behind her son, she makes
and unmakes grand ~viZiers, ministers,
wallis or provincial governors. She Is the
invisible thread that e~levates or lowers,
the mysterious roulette that enriches or
ruins. Then, as she is most frequently
ignorant, inexperienced and narrow, it is
always best for the state that the sultans
be orphans entirely when fortune seats
them upon the throne.--The Cosmopol-
ifan

The French War once.

The first thing that strikes the English
visitor to the French "Ministere de Ia
Guerre" is the contrast it presents to the
English war Office. The latter is q little
squat and dirty double house a dozen yards
back from Pail Mail, resembling in its eyte-
rior, both in condition and construction,
a huge rabbit warren. The former Is
q magnificent new stone building, with
broad flights of marble steps, filed with
frescoes and paintings, scarlet and gilt
furniture, and suites of imposing reception
rooms leading one into the other through
large mahogany folding doors. Into the
last OF these suites l was shown to await
the now famous French minister.
The moment he entered the room n
saw clearly how mistaken is the common
conception Of his personality. He is n
short man, rather stoutly built, with
brown hair, brown beard, rather a red
face; above all things quiet looking al
most TO commonplaceness. His mother
was an Englishwoman, his aunt is living
NJ lewes, and except for the slight point
at his beard he himself would be taken
for an Englishman anywhere, He wore
the ordinary French civilians dress Of
black frock coat and trousers, with only
the single red spot in his buttonhole.
This, by the way, was also the dress Of
half a dozen generals, who seemed to per-
form a sort of special duty by being
present about the "ministere." In man
ners Gen. BOulanger is not more striking
than in appearance. He speaks slowly,
like most soldiers, but without much
gesture, and without much force either OF
voice or language.-Pan Mall Gazette.

Immunity OF Theatrical Travellers.

The death of Kate Castleton's leading
woman in a railroad accident on the plains
is the first accident Of the sort within my
recollection. In spite Of the amount OF
travelling they do one never hears CT
theatrical people being burned up or
smashed up or otherwise visited with the
casualties that give the accident insurance
companies a reason for existing. ! have
heard now and then-and very few and
far between the cases have been-of their
being a little bruised or shaken up, but
these accidents have at most been trifiing
ones. / have known Of smash ups where
passengers in the same cars have been
killed or woefully mutilated while theat-
rical travellers escaped unscathed, and l
Gee every afternoon on Broadway lady Of
the stage who was the only woman res
cued alive from the burning Of a Missis-
sippi steamer.
In the present case a railroad accident
was the direct cause of Mrs. Leslie's death,
and she seems to have been the first actress
to have had the extreme penalty Of travel
levied on her. l know an old actor who
believes the profession entities n man to a
charmed life. He has been through all
sorts Of perils, ashore and %afioat, and is
still as sound as a dollar ALFRED Trumble

Honor Among Gypsies,

1t may be strange information for those
who regard gypsies as outlaws that no
people living are more regardful than
they of the law and the rights Of others.
But that is true. Go where you will along
the quiet countrysides Of our land, where,
rs the sunny days of the year return, they
bring these welcomed cavalcades among
the farm and village folk for the annual
chickering's and chickering's, and you will
find that no gypsy family or band pitches
its tents, builds its fires and puts its beasts
to tether without an actual legal bar
gained right to do so. Sometimes the
price is paid in money, sometimes in
tinkering, sometimes in dicker Of horse or
mule, and sometimes even iii free fortune
telling for the farmers family. But it is
always paid. From the Pemaquan Of
Maine across the continent to Los
Angeles, and everywhere north and south
where farm homes are in all that mighty
distance, the gypsy camp fires are an
nually relighted above the ashes Of the
last years cheer on this clean cut, canny
plsn.-Edgar 4, Wakeman in Courier
Journal.

Pugilism Among the Youngsters.

A prize fight always has a bad effect on
that part of the community generally
spoken Of as "kids." During the past
week there have been a number Of fights
between youngsters on their way to and
from school, and the police have several
times broken up rings where juvenile
champions were matched for n mill" A
fever as violent as the kind that comes Of
circuses and wild west shows seizes our
tough young citizens every time a pugil-
istic contest takes place ~hereabouts, and
the newspapers for several days afterward
considerably depreciate the value of dime
novel literature. Indeed, they are often
times quite as well informed as Older peo-
pie In such matters, and their enthusiasm
leads them TO initiate the sluggers at the
expense Of one another's noses and eyes,
Police Sergeant in Globe Democrat.

The city's statistics show 175, 600 fami-
lies in New York hire their rooms from
month to month without permanent lease.
There are several reasons for this condi-
ton OF affairs. One, the working class
seldom possess means to secure payment
III advance, always demanded in first
class tenements, and the tenant o being
able to afford what Is desired in the way
of room or apartments takes only q
mcnthly lease in hope Of doing better in
another -four weeks. Hence the constant
trundling about Of bag, baggage, wife, and
babies which some families are subjected
to. Another serious objection to perma-
mem lease is the rapacity of a large por-
ton Of landlords. All things are prom
Used fair until the tenant signs a lease and
takes possession; then one encroachment
after another upon acknowledged rights
occurs, and demands are made until often
q tenant sacrifices a years rent rather than
submit to extortion. Half the litigation
in the city comes from suits arising be-
tween enant and landlord. Cor. Chicago

CLEANLINESS IN HOLLAND.
A People Who Live ~ II Cleanliness
Were n Part OF Godliness.

"A People Who Live ~ IL Cleanliness
Were n Part OF Goodness.
Dutch cleanliness is famous, and de-
serves its fame. The Dutch are the only peo-
pie u'ao live as If cleanliness were not next
TO but q part Of godliness. The traveller,
on entering his room ut an inn, finds the
linen 10Y white, the window panes trans
parent as the air, the furniture shining rs
If newly vanished, and the floor so clean
that q magnifying glass could not dis
cover a spec thereon. There is n basket
for waste paper, a tablet for scratching
matches on, a dish for cigar ashes, a box
for cigar stumps, q spittoon-every man
Is supposed to smoke-a bootjack, and
everything to remove a pretext for soiling
anything.
Even his candlestick is Of copper, and
OF the size OF q dinner plate. 1t might
sustain a torch, but holds instead a candle,
rs large as a lady's small finger. No
grease should be split from that candle
stick.
The traveller stands on q bridge and
overlOoks the vessels crowded in the canal.
Each n Is as clean as the room he has
just left. The mast and deck are vanished
and shine like a recently scrubbed house
floor. The cabin has its windows Of clear,
clean glass, each one with its white mus
lin curtains tied up with knots of rose
colored ribbon. Sailors, women and
children are busy, every spare moment,
washing, sweeping, polishing every part.
De Amicis, an Italian, OF visiting the
kitchen Of a houSe In Delft, could find but
one word to express his feelings, "Splen-
didp' The walls were as white as un-
touched snow; the saucepans reflected like
mirrors, and the mantlepiece was orna-
mented with q muslin curtain, like the
canopy Of a bed.
The fireplace was covered with china
tiles that looked as bright as il no fire had
her been lighted there. The shovels,
hgs and poker, and the chains and hooks,
seemed made of polished steel.
IA lady In a ball dress might have gone
into every hole and corner of that kitchen,
and come forth without a smirch upon her
whitepess."
The master Of the house, seeing the
Italians surprise at the fact that q ser
vant girl was cleaning up, where there
seemed not the shadow Of dirt, said, 'To
have an idea Of what cleanliness Is with
us, you should watch one of these womeL
for an hour. There a house is soaped
and sponged and rubbed like a person.
1t is not cleaning, 1t is making a toilette.
She blows in the cracks between the
bricks, pokes in the corners with finger
and pin, makes a minute supervision
enough to fatigue the eye as well as the
arm. It is truly a national passion"
When asked whence arose this mania
for cleaning. he answered.: at is due to
the atmosphere, which Injuries wood and
metal; to the dampness and smallness Of
the houses, and the multiplicity Of small
objects favoring dust; to the su%perabun-
dance of water; to the need Of the eye,
Ahich hnds beauty in simple cleanliness;
I'd, finally, to the emulation which
pushes things to extremes. Youths
